Weezer’s self-titled debut album, alternatively known as Blue Album, will turn 30 next year. As it turns out, the band has some big plans for celebrating it, according to frontman Rivers Cuomo.
In a recent chat with Collider, Cuomo shared that the band intends to re-release the album in an “amazing deluxe package” that will contain additional material, most likely demos and B-sides. Also, Weezer will do an “epic tour” so the fans can hear their Blue Album favorites in person.
“We are going to give it its due respect and come out with a really amazing deluxe package with a bunch of additional material, and of course, we’ve gotta do some kind of epic tour,” Cuomo revealed.
Cuomo didn’t offer any further details but hinted that the fans should expect Blue Album anniversary shows following their joint tour with Smashing Pumpkins across the UK in June.
Blue Album came out in 1994, featuring hit songs like “Undone – The Sweater Song”, “Buddy Holly”, and “Say It Ain’t So”. The record was met with critical acclaim and was later made part of Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Albums of All Time” list while remaining the band’s best-selling album to date.
Weezer’s most recent studio effort was Van Weezer in 2021.
